Why are you questioning me whether I have committed corruption? 】
Even though they were not face to face, Luo Shu knew that Shim must be confused right now.
[Luo Shu: Haha, if I didn’t have the channels, I believe it wouldn’t be Ms. Shim’s turn to sell intelligence. (Smiling face)]
【Shim: ....】
The next second, Shim sent the transfer record, a surveillance video, and an audio file.
Luo Shu looked up at Gao Mushi, then quickly took out his earphones and plugged them into his phone to listen to the recording.
Takagi Wataru, who was driving in front, had an embarrassed expression. Although he understood Luo Shu's wary look, could he please stop looking at me from time to time?
It's kind of scary.
At this time, Luo Shu, who had finished listening to the recording, was somewhat surprised:
"It's really only two million..."
Luo Shu, who was a little bit unconvinced, used the encyclopedia of mysticism to do some divination. After confirming that this was the fact, his expression suddenly became strange.
Shim actually did not tamper with the intelligence fee, but really gave it all to him. Although it was department funds, Luo Shu had the final say on how to use it. Although it was selling out his own intelligence, Shim's ability to make money was really good. He just moved his lips and said some deceptive words, and the money would be in the account.
While listening to the recording, Luo Shu remembered that the person who was really responsible for evaluating the ghouls seemed to be Shim himself, but the other party threw the job to himself. So, Shim made up half-true and half-false information herself and sold it to Takatsuki Izumi who was in need, making her the scapegoat?
This woman should not be underestimated... Fortunately, she is on our side. Luo Shu thought about it and used the Encyclopedia of Mysticism to look up the reason why Shim did this. After getting the answer that SDS was short of funds recently and hoped to earn some intelligence fees to subsidize the Secret Management Department, his expression became somewhat subtle.
"So, it turns out that Shim is helping my department earn money and raise funds?"
Luo Shu took back what he said before. Although Shim was a little sinister, he still had a good heart.
Luo Shu really likes the woman who can give him two million US dollars for milk powder just by talking.
"But, Takatsuki Izumi...
Luo Shu opened the information that Shim had just sent and compared it with what he knew.
"The assessment is that the danger level is above level 2, possibly close to level 3. Is it suspected to be the core of the ghouls?"
Luo Shu compared his understanding.
The SDS also uses the level of the Abyss items to assess the danger level of the enemy.
Because of the large difference between level 1 and level 2, it roughly corresponds to the ordinary and excellent levels in the Luoshu system. Level 3 is roughly equivalent to the elite level. Level 4 is the hero level, and level is the demigod level.
Among them, the individual evaluation level of the system is generally stronger than that of the abyss props. After all, one is a living person and the other is a dead object.
And if an individual has a more special job, the destructive power and danger he or she can exert will be even greater.
For example, Luo Shu's job title, 'Misfortune Bringer', is a job that can directly reach the divine realm level. Therefore, at the elite stage, its combat power is enough to suppress the hero-level strongmen, and there are even some heroes with the job title.
This is the advantage brought by special job agencies.
In Shim's eyes, Luo Shu, who possesses the level 3 abyss item Demon's Heart and has unknown abilities, is obviously superior to Takatsuki Izumi in terms of combat power and danger. In addition, he has the pure-blooded demon Kisara by his side. Even if there are still strong ones among the ghouls, he can obviously save his life.
With this in mind, Shim sold some marginal intelligence and deliberately offered a high price to discourage Takatsuki Izumi from buying more intelligence.
This operation can be said to have gained benefits without causing too much impact, and it even allowed me, as an intelligence dealer, to get closer to the enemy.
But what Shim never expected was...
"...Takatsuki Izumi is the one-eyed king of the ghouls. He can be said to be the highest fighting force that can be deployed among the ghouls."
Luo Shu was talking about his understanding of ghouls in his mind. He had never paid attention to Kisara, but he had watched some of the popular anime "Ghouls".
Therefore, Luo Shu naturally knew the information about the SSS-level glutton, the one-eyed owl. Takatsuki Izumi.
He also remembered that Takatsuki Izumi seemed to be the top leader of the ghoul organization Bronze Tree, but the other party was cunning and pretended to be an ordinary cadre.
"Takatsuki Izumi was rated as a Level 2 danger by Shim, close to Level 3, so I'll raise it a little and count it as Level 3. No, let's be cautious and count it as Level 4, which is close to Level 3."
"If the highest combat power of the ghouls is only the powerful level 3, it seems that it won't be difficult to destroy them."
Luo Shu will never forget that ghouls are a race that must eat humans in order to survive.
To solve the cannibalism problem, a large number of scientists must be involved in research. However, given the economic situation of $/SDS, even the Minister of Intelligence Shim has to make extra money. As a Guardian of the Mist who is determined to seduce the Supreme Speaker in the long term and take Shim to bed in the near future, he naturally has to consider his family...
'After all, we should just destroy it.
"Keep a few combat forces that can be recruited, and their weak points, and see if there is a way to transform them so that they don't eat people. The rest, just kill them, and make them into 'national treasures' that are rarer than pandas. Well, the island country's national treasure 'man-eating ghouls' seems to be quite in line with the characteristics of the island country."
"And if it's about annihilation...
Thinking of this, Luo Shu narrowed his eyes. To be on the safe side, he planned to contact Sharon and combine the strength of himself, Mu Geng and Sharon to test the accuracy of the One-Eyed King.
It just so happened that Sharon had returned to Europe to retrieve information related to demons to give to Lacus, so she returned to Tokyo.
If the One-Eyed King is very strong, then we can discuss the plan of destroying him, but if he is very weak...
"The first step should be cautious. Takatsuki Izumi is the leader of the Bronze Tree and has many subordinates. Her weakness seems to be the continuation of the ghoul, which is not easy to deal with."
"I remember that Takatsuki Izumi had a father who was also an SSS-level ghoul and owned a coffee shop..."
Luo Shu's eyes flickered for a moment, and he made up his mind.
Izumi Takatsuki, who purchased the intelligence, probably never expected that his money was spent but it would bring the ghoul Luo Shu's murderous intention.
But there are always many surprises in this world.
At the very least, Luo Shu was going to be a surprise to them.
After 20 minutes.
The police car carrying Luo Shu and Mu Geng slowly arrived at a crematorium.
Chapter 45 You are a big businessman! (3/3)
The police car stopped in the parking lot opposite the 'Mihua Funeral Home'.
Luo Shu and Mu Geng got out of the car together, and at this time, in the parking space next door, Megure Jusan and Sato Miwako also got out of two police cars with three colleagues. "Officer Luo."
Megure Jusan, who was dressed in brown, even his hat was the same color, raised his hand to hold down his hat and walked to Luo Shu:
"The Mihua Funeral Home across the street is the funeral home where the body theft occurred yesterday."
Megure Jusan accompanied Luo Shu to the crematorium on the other side of the road and said:
"After I set out, I contacted the holding company behind the Mihua Funeral Home and asked them to send someone to make contact."
"They control 70% of private crematoriums and have teamed up with funeral companies, temples, and shrines to provide funerals. They can be said to be the funeral industry giant in Tokyo."
"By the way, the person standing at the door is the manager of this crematorium. Mr. Guo Yi."
At this moment, at the entrance of the Mika Funeral Home, a kind young man wearing a blue suit and with slightly round cheeks walked quickly to the door, bowed and greeted in fluent Japanese:
"Officers, I am sorry to trouble you again."
"No, no, no, it's me who should be bothering Mr. Guo.
Megure Jusan bowed with a smile, then turned sideways and introduced Luo Shu to Guo Yi:
"By the way, let me introduce you. This is Luo Shu, Superintendent Luo, and the person in charge of this investigation."
"Hello, Officer Luo." Hearing the introduction, Guo Yi's eyes showed a little strangeness, but she still hurried forward to greet him with a smile.
"Hello, Mr. Guo." Luo Shu greeted him fluently in Chinese: "We are all in a foreign country together, so there is no need to be too polite. The case is more important.
Through the previous green paper, Luo Shu already knew that the Mihua Funeral Home was a Japanese-Chinese multiple holding company, and the major shareholder was a Chinese company, so he was not surprised that the person in charge 04 was from China, and even felt a little familiar.
Of course, this bit of friendliness is only a little bit. After all, the Chinese people are always trying to cheat other Chinese people, and this is no laughing matter abroad.
However, this is hard to say, because there are many Chinese people abroad who consider themselves to be "people of the Republic of China", "people of the Qing Dynasty" or even "people of the Ming Dynasty", and everyone is cheating each other.
"Ah, yes, yes, what Officer Luo said is right." Guo Yi smiled immediately and responded in Chinese. Then, considering Megure Jusan and others, he said in Japanese:
"It's important to handle the case. It's important to handle the case. Please follow me."
Guo Yi has a very kind attitude and seems to have no temper.
But according to Green Book's report, Luo Shu knew clearly that this man was the ruthless one who contacted the gangs and mobilized machine guns to shoot those ghouls who stole corpses.
At the same time, it was he who proposed to sell the captured ghouls, along with some of their corpses, to other organizations in exchange for profits to compensate for the company's losses.
Anyone who thinks the smiling man in front of him is a punching bag is a fool.
The colorful sedan chair was carried by everyone, and under the polite guidance of Guo Yi, the group entered the funeral home.
Guo Yi, who was walking in front, also introduced as she walked:
"Inspector Luo, Officer Megure, let me first introduce some of the conditions of our funeral home.
Guo Yi cleared her throat and explained slowly, out of concern for Luo Shu's poor Japanese:
"My Beihua Funeral Home is the only funeral company in Beihua Town, and it is also the only private company. Due to the huge business volume in Beihua Town, we have to receive 60 customers every day."
"However, because the daily cremation capacity of our office is 35 people, there will be some special 'abundance' every day."
When Luo Shu heard this, his eyes lit up slightly, and he deliberately joked in Chinese:
"Mr. Guo's business is booming!"
Guo Yi immediately showed an understanding expression when he heard this, and replied in Chinese:
"No, no, the Japanese are just showing me kindness.
The two grown men looked at each other, knowing that they both wished more Japanese people would die, so naturally they felt a sense of sympathy for each other.
Of course, because Megure Juzo was present, neither of them did anything excessive. After communicating in a low voice, they returned to their original purpose.
“Due to the busy business, our firm also provides some accommodation services.
Hearing what Guo Yi said, Megure Jusan, who didn't know the situation, wondered, "Does the crematorium also provide accommodation?"
Hearing this, Luo Shu glanced at Megure Shisan and said nothing.
Takagi Wataru, who had been to the crematorium before, stepped forward and reminded Megure Jusan, who had rarely been to the crematorium:
"Inspector Megure, this accommodation is not for human beings."
Megure Jusan's face turned green and he immediately understood who was staying here.
At this time, Guo Yi led everyone around the crematorium from the right and turned to the gate of a house with the sign of Tongfu Hotel.
"...It stinks." Kisara, who had a well-developed sense of smell, immediately covered his nose after arriving at the hotel.
Luo Shu, who could smell something, had a tense face and a heavy look in his eyes.
The joke just now was just a joke, but when he really saw the place where the dead were, he no longer had the mentality that it didn’t matter how many Japanese people died.
Luo Shu felt somewhat uncomfortable when he thought that after these people died, their bodies would become food for the ghouls.
At this time, Guo Yi whispered: "Because of the heavy volume of business, some corpses need to be burned by appointment, and corpses are very inconvenient to store, so I added this 'hotel' in the crematorium.
At this time, Guo Yi said in a somewhat unfriendly tone:
"The charge is about 500 yen per day, which is equivalent to 200 yuan in Chinese currency. On average, there are guests staying in the hotel every day. This fee is an important source of income for my office, so we treat the bodies stored here with great care."
Luo Shu understood Guo Yi. He paid for the corpse storage, but something went wrong. The crematorium would definitely have to pay a large amount of money. According to the files, the amount stolen by this ghoul was quite large. He frowned and said:
"Those ghouls are the ones who broke into the hotel and committed the crime?"
"Yes." Guo Yi's tone was somewhat low.
Although the Japanese are willing to spend money on funerals, that is a one-time income. This special morgue is a stable thing.
This is also the reason why the crematorium is always full but not expanded.
One is that the land on the island is privately owned, and it is difficult to acquire the land to build a crematorium. Another is that the fees for storing corpses are generous, stable and controllable.
But a ghoul appeared who needed to eat corpses, which drove Guo Yi and the Chinese capital behind him crazy.
Ghouls come to steal corpses every day. If the corpses are gone, the crematorium that charges for corpse storage will have to pay a lot of money. The high corpse storage fee corresponds to a high compensation.
, this is no joke.
"The first person to discover the body theft was an employee of my institute. According to the surveillance footage, he warned the body theft, but he probably thought it was just a petty thief, so he tried to drive him away, but was brutally killed. In addition, the patrol officer and the security guard who were killed that day were also killed. A total of six people died, and no body was left behind."
Guo Yi explained with a heavy heart, and at the same time led Luo Shu and others into the hotel which had not yet been repaired and had bullet holes on the walls.
The Chinese capital that controls the crematorium in the island country naturally has some connection with the island country's official government. Even these shares were purchased by the Chinese capital from the family business of the island country's former prime minister.
Therefore, everyone present, including Sato Miwako, who had a strong sense of justice, ignored the conspicuous bullet holes.
Bullets don't kill people, but man-eating monsters. With instructions from higher-ups, it's natural for them to turn a blind eye.
Walking along the corridor, Luo Shu looked at the narrow morgues and saw the opened coffin lids.
